Larry Joseph Tridico, of Branson, Missouri, and a native of Louisiana, went to be with the Lord Saturday, December 31, 2016, surrounded by his family. He was born March 13, 1935, in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, to Anthony (Tony) and Cecile Rivet Tridico. He retired from Dow Chemical December 1991 with 30 years of service. Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Cremations of the Ozarks.

Larry was a kind man, loved by many and respected by all. He loved the Lord and his family intensely. He never met a stranger and whether he knew you or not, before he walked away he gave you a hug. He was known as the “hugger.” To know him was to love him. He was a man of great wisdom. He knew there wasn’t much in life that was fair, so he made sure he was fair with everyone. Larry would go above and beyond to make anyone comfortable.

Larry was a member of the Sanctuary of Hope Church. A celebration of Larry’s life will be held at 11:00 am, January 4, 2017 at Sanctuary of Hope Church, 1790 Bee Creek Road, Branson, Missouri with Pastor Sam Kaunley officiating. A lunch will follow at the church.
